Three Wishes

From the Notes of Nica de Koenigswarter:

You can quote Satchmo as saying:

“Health is wealth! If I were sick, and I wanted to borrow a dime, d’you think that cat would cross the street to offer it to me? No, sir! I’d have to have my health to go and get it from him.”

“And people would never get sick if they didn’t get constipated. Why, I’ve never had an operation in my life, because I never let myself get constipated.”
